I do not believe this at all, gas stoves have been around a long time, maybe not being outside is more of problem. I still have a cook top with two pilot lights that did not injure my children. There could be so many reasons for this it's just silly.

Truth!
Pawn shops were all over in this area years ago. I believe there's only one left that is close by. Another area of Dallas was saturated with them, but now just a memory.
I don't think the Pay-Day loan business is doing well anymore.
Life has moved on to online small loans with the apps on the phone. I think I will just keep doing what my dad told me do as a youngster.

Two angles I did not want were payday loans and car title loans, due to ethical and practical aspects.Truth!

Yea Bill.
I miss him very much, just to hear some of his wisdom that shaped me to this day.
Yea Pio!
I know what you mean. Many people are backed into a corner & have no other way out but to use some of these institutions.
The trick is to pay off the ENTIRE loan when the 1st payment comes due. If you can't, then the tumble down a bad way starts.

I thought of us as an emergency bank for folks who didn't have one, we tried to help repeaters get current when possible so they didn't have to regularly use us to get by.Yea Bill.

Re car titles, somewhat the same issues, plus we weren't going to become a car lot for folks that quit maintaining vehicles that were no longer "theirs". I was adamant on that without an arrangement with a regular car lot, we were a loan and sales business, not a used car lot.

Freud to Carl Jung, after his trip to the US in 1908 for a series of lectures at Clark University–lectures attended by Emma Goldman, among others:
“I think I understand English fairly well, but I can’t understand what Americans say when they speak and I got the impression Americans don’t even understand each other.”

The problem with gas stoves is no clear standard on what level of co is acceptable ! Every year around thanksgiving a lot of people cooking the turkey would end up at the hospital with co poisoning from dirty oven that burn bad ! They would nick named it turkey flu as the exhaust for most ovens or vent is usually around the back burner on the stove top where they the person cooking would be working ! Homes are much tighter than they used to be ,but this can easily be solved with oven hoods that vent outside ! No need to ban them ! Just make it code for gas ovens to have hoods that vent outside .
Public outrage is such a gas !
